Sword from Arms and Armour

Post by WaaaghBoss »

I have had my eye on a sword from them for several years now, and am finally ready to purchase. Does anyone have experience dealing with them? How do the blades hold up? I have handled almost all of the swords, but only at the Ren Faire. The balance and look are unbelievable, but how do they hold up?
I would like some feedback before spending $500 on a sword! :-)
Thanks!

You may want to ask the same question at one or both of these sites:

http://swordforum.com/

Forget Nutsore'd, but Sword Forum would be a good bet.
I've got several of Christopher Poore's weapons and they are awesome. I don't own any of his swords, but our Duc has the Black Prince and it is beautiful.

And on Arms & Armour, I've heard nothing but good reviews, and on top of that, they were endorsed but Eward Oakshotte himself.

Unless I am greatly mistaken Bob Charron has two (black princes?) that he uses for the Fiore demonstrations. Which is a resounding endorsement in my book.
